sssh - be quiet Lad and keep a watchful eye
don't want the scoundrels sneaking up behind our back
You watch the front, I'll watch the rear - listen for my cry
I'll let you know if I see movement on the track.

They're all in Tamworth - up to no good no doubt. The scoundrels!

We could take over while they aren't looking!

Yep. What mischief shall we get up to first? Wecould post free verse! Ha! That would teach them!

we stood alone and wondered in dismay
where our leaders had fled to in our need
as we stood awash with water, burnt by flame,
threatened by the winds of devastation
that were sweeping across our country
and nobody had the keys to the safe
or knew the combinations to open the locks
and so we stood like chastened schoolboys
caught with our hands in the lolly jar
plaintively crying - but no one heard our pleas.

It's about time we added a little more culture to this group we are getting a bit too bushy IMO

Having underwear problems, talking about taking over - insurrection in the ranks. Cop a load of this one it will brighten up your day.

No really - it is good you blokes will be amazed - It is a kind of aquatic ballet so to speak

Hey Marty - turn them inside out and then put them on back to front - they'll be good for another couple of days that way

Yeah, but Marty, keep at least 10 feet away from anybody with those undies!


You are close to me; yet you are far away;
I cannot touch you; but I feel your presence;
I know little of you; but I know you.
I cannot see you; but I can smell you!

Did you two notice that one of our "Overseas friends" was on line? They are coming from everywhere now - USA, Haiti, Sweden, Netherlands, Portugal. We truly are an international place for po... It must be really annoying them that we aren't playing their little game ha! If Manfred doesn't get back soon it won't be us that has taken over...

Odoriferous not melliferous - there is nothing sweet about you
keep your distance sir I pray - for your charms are somewhat lacking
though tis said you are easy on the eye - sir I have to say
I fear your smell is high


Now Heather please try to be less hurtful in how you phrase your remarks - I can smell you well that could be taken in many ways some not nice at all IMO

After all we must remember that the human psyche at best is fragile and irreparable damage can be done by ill chosen words

PS This little verse could also apply to them as well only in their case they actually stink

Ah Martyboy, you've been reading Ern Malley

Have no fear, I am still here.
But not much use, I'm afraid.
I've looked and clicked
but can't remove the interlopers.

So I thought I'd inflict on you
one of those things we see
that some people call poems.
I read today one of the winners of the Urlich prize.

If that's a poem
I'm the Poet Lauriet!
And I know that I'm not a
modern type writer.
